Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a hypersensitivity reaction to a drug or a tinea infection. You could empirically apply an antifungal cream and take an antihistamine tablet for a week. If your symptoms do not improve in a week or if your rash worsens, I request you to consult your dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and to initiate the apt treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
